Luhur History
In some sources mentioned, around the year 1489 AD came to the island of Bali a purohita, writers and clergy named Danghyang Dwijendra. Danghyang Dwijendra was a Hindu priest, the birth of Kediri, East Java.
Dwijendra at Danghyang named Danghyang Nirartha walaka. He married a princess of Daha, east Java. At the same place he studied and in-diksa by-law. Nirartha Danghyang endowed with bhiseka kawikon Dwijendra Danghyang name.
Once diksa, Danghyang Dwijendra dharmayatra given the task of carrying out as one of the requirements kawikon. Dharmayatra this should be implemented in the island of Bali, with the addition of a very heavy task of arranging in-law of customary and religious life, especially in the island of Bali. If necessary dharmayatra it can be forwarded to the Sasak and Sumbawa Island.
Danghyang Dwijendra come to the island of Bali, first set foot on the southwestern coastal region of Jembrana for a moment to rest before continuing the journey dharmayatra. This is where Danghyang Dwijendra left pemutik (there is also mention pengutik) with shaft (starch) wood rack. Starch wood shelf life and it turned out to be a tree thrives shelf. Until now the leaves are used as a wood shelf banten completeness in Bali. As a reminder and tribute to him, built a temple named Purancak.
After a dharmayatra the Sasak and Sumbawa Island, Danghyang Dwijendra towards the southern tip of the southwestern island of Bali, which is in arid regions, full of stones called the hills.
After some time living there, he was getting calls from Hyang Creator to get back amoring acintia Parama moksha. This is where Pedanda Ida Rauh recalled Wawu Sakti (icang eling) with Samaya (promise) himself to return to his home. That's why this place is called Cangeling and gradually became Cengiling until now.
Hence, Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu ngulati Sakti (find) a place deemed safe and appropriate to do Parama moksha. Therefore deemed ineligible, he moved again to another location. In this place, then built a temple called Pura toadstool. The name was derived from the word ngulati. The temple is located in the village of Pecatu.
As he walked to get a new location deemed eligible for Parama moksha, Ida Rauh Wawu Pedanda Sakti very sad and crying inside her. Why? Because he was not willing to leave this world because the scale has not felt completely swadharmanya, namely the Hindu life together in the Sasak and Sumbawa. In place of this mengangis he then founded a temple called Pura cry (tears of origin of the word). This temple is located in tears Middle Village Banjar Adat Pecatu.
Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu Sakti have not found a place that is appropriate for Parama moksha. He then arrived at a place full of big stones. He was just alone. In this place, and erected a temple called Pura Batu Diyi. Also in this place Dwijendra Danghyang feel less safe for Parama moksha. Fairly with the exhausting journey of hunger and thirst, he finally arrived in the hills area who always got the hot sun. For the umbrella away, he took a piece of leaf beetles and try to get drinking water sources. After the tour did not find the source of drinking water, Dwijendra Danghyang finally stuck his stick. Amertha water came out. In this place and built a temple called Pura Umbrella with springs used Tirtha means until now.
Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu Sakti then moved again to another location, to amuse themselves before carrying out the seconds back to the origin. In this place and built a temple called Pura Selonding located in Banjar Kangin Desa Adat Pecatu. After amusing himself satisfied, Danghyang Dwijendra feel tired. So he was looking for a place to rest. I was so tired to the point that he was quiet (overslept). In this place and built a temple called Pura Parerepan (parerepan means pasirepan, the inn) is located in the village of Pecatu.
Approaching the final seconds to Parama moksha, Dwijendra Danghyang cleanse themselves and mulat sarira first. In this place until now stands a Hindu temple called Pura Pangleburan located in the village of Banjar Adat Pecatu Kauh. After purifying himself, he went on his way to the location of the southwestern tip of Bali. This place consists of the cliff rocks. If the note from below sea level, looking at each other joins, shaped head perched on the cliff rocks, with a height of between 50-100 meters from the sea surface. Thus called Uluwatu. Ulu watu mean head and means stone.
Before Danghyang Dwijendra Parama moksha, he called the boat owners who had brought it from Sumbawa to Bali. Boat skipper named Ki Pacek Nambangan Boat. The Pandita for help to skipper a boat carrying clothes and his staff to his fourth wife in pasraman Griya Sakti Mas in Banjar Pule, Mas village, Ubud, Gianyar. Clothing was a green silk robe and a wooden stick young. After Ki Pacek Nambangan pasraman boat headed in Danghyang Dwijendra Mas, Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu Sakti immediately to a large rock pile east of stone relics of the former Royal temple of Sri Wira Dalem Kesari. On top of that rock, Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu yoga Sakti mengranasika, like the keris off so urangka, disappeared without a trace, amoring acintia Parama moksha.
Thus, since Danghyang Dwijendra also called Ida Rauh Pedanda Wawu Sakti Parama moksha or called Ngaluhur Temple, this temple is called Luhur.

History of Bali Tourism

History of Bali Tourism

If in Roman times people do travel for practical needs, desires and wants to know the religious impulse, then the Hindu era in the Nusantara / Indonesia especially in Bali has happened because travel is also a religious impulse.

Travel Rsi Markandiya around 8th century from Java to Bali, have made travel with keagaman missions.
